'EastEnders' actor Danny Walters has hinted Keanu could die at Christmas.
'There's a lot going on for my character': Danny Walters teases Christmas demise for EastEnders' Keanu
The 30-year-old teased the demise of his alter-ego on the BBC soap after Keanu lied to his fiance Sharon Watts and stole thousands from Albert Square hardman Phil Mitchell.
Danny told The Mirror: "It's not what I can tease, it's what I can't say. There's a lot going on for my character, for character he's involved with. I really want to tell you a lot of things coming up. The storylines are so juicy and fun for me to play and it's going to be fun for the audience to watch. I want to say more!"
A sneak peek at the festive episode sees an unidentified dead body on the floor of the Queen Vic pub, with six of the show's female characters surrounding it.
Danny went on: "It's interesting, because the females that are involved in the flashforward, they are attached and associated with men in their life. And anyone who is attached or associated to those women... there is speculation it could be myself, it could be anyone who's a male on the Square who's associated with the women. Whoever it's going to be I have faith, I trust in the producers that the storyline will be incredible and will be a storyline that has got the nation speculating and talking.
"One time I might have a theory and then that might debunk what I thought. Every time I read the next scripts, I'm always changing my theory. It's fun for me to be a part of that storyline but scary that you might not have a job next year!"
'EastEnders' boss Chris Clenshaw has been working on the whodunnit idea since he first joined the show in 2022.
He said: "It’s been in the pipeline since I took over at the beginning of last year. I was looking for a blockbuster story for 2023 and there was clearly an appetite for a ‘whodunnit’, but I was reluctant to play a ‘whodunnit’ in the traditional form, largely due to the spectacularly brilliant ‘Who Killed Lucy’ storyline, that was not just hugely successful but also incredibly gripping throughout."
